If there is something I like as much as cars it's watches. Have had a 30+ year fascination with them and have been fortunate enough to own many pieces that most would consider their "holy grail".

My takeaway from buying and selling most of them is that nothing holds its value like a Rolex and that the older you get, typically speaking, the less you care about stuff like this. A sub is like buying a CD at a bank. I have had quite a few of them and for me, the biggest disappointment is that it seems as if everyone has one. I prefer to have something that is not like the rest and that doesn't draw too much attention. FYI: after owning multiple versions of Submariners, Daytonas, Royal Oaks, etc., I've currently settled on an Apple Watch! Why? Because it helps me keep in shape and it's "socially acceptable" at many levels for not much money

Regarding family heirloom stuff: you never know when you may have a change in heart about it. Keep it unless you need the funds for your new purchase. If you want to sell it later on, you can still do so, so no harm in keeping it for a longer period of time.
